MERLIN Identifier
Database Description
The MERLlN
®
Identifier database stores records in the following
format:
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN
where:
P
is a Priority flag.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
is the 1-to-16 character caller
name.
NNNNNNNNNN
is the caller’s 10-digit telephone number.
The MERLIN Identifier database can store approximately 2500
records. Because the MERLIN Identifier database stores caller
records using variable record-length format, more memory is
available to store additional records when caller names are less
than the 16 characters allotted. For example, if 900 records use
13-character names instead of all 16 characters, an additional
100 database records with 16-character names could be stored.
